The anxiety. The pain. Soul searching. And then release of those dark forces. Finding out new directions. These sounds helped bringing me back into light from eternal darkness. This goes for my loving family and all the music lovers.

This is a story about curiosity.
When wandering through nature, I quickly find out that I am in no control. This is essential because then I can freely indulge in its spontaneity, revelation, fruitfulness and those mystical shows which nature performing for us. I am just a sole floating observer with a open-minded devotion to dive into the pores and immerse into details and meanings.
My way was to consciously trip on the nature and let the unconscious do the work. By that I was sure that I don’t know anything and was ready to curiously absorb all the magnificent moving distractions. And that’s how the album was unfolding - I just wander and the wonders open up themselves.
The whole journey was beautifully exhausting, filled with various versatile living beings “who do not sweat and whine about their condition, nor lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins”.

Kittylung is the solo project from Maxwell Reikosky from Seattle, WA. The majority of this album was made while he was living in Nairobi, Kenya. 

"Emotional sound palettes crafted on my Nairobi balcony, with a cheap guitar bought from the local mall. Some days there was smog and others I could hear distant singing. I would reflect on how our surroundings are ever in flux and contrast, shedding diverse signals in a landscape that is uncannily whole. How we feel in any moment is contradictory as we are pulled by the healing, pain, tranquility, and chaos that runs through everything. The result is more intuitive than articulable. These songs are projections of that process, and therefore build on the environment from which they came."

Multi-instrumentalist composer and producer Drexler curates an eclectic Contemplative Mix for us featuring stunning tracks from the likes of Roomful Of Teeth, Nicholas Britell,  Rival Consoles, John Hopkins, Vessel, Nils Frahm to BPMoore and much more.

About The Mix:
"This mix contains a collection of pieces by artists from all over the world, from my hometown Australia to Mongolia to Iceland. I wanted to acknowledge pioneers like Sigur Ros and Nils Frahm in the ambient/modern classical world that have influenced me in the past as well as emerging acts like Alistair Sung and BPMoore that inspire me today. As a composer for film/TV/advertising, I also wanted to share artists I've discovered through movies and TV such as Nicholas Britell, Colin Stetson, Roomful of Teeth. Hearing Roomful of Teeth live at St Giles Church (Barbican) in 2018 was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I even discovered the track by Vessel through the movie trailer for the Korean film, The Handmaiden. Thanks for inviting me to create this mix."
